THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
Pull yourself together.
You need to be strong.
Get up.
You're a mom.
Your piglets are
all looking for you.
You need to get up, feed them,
and look after them.
So is Young-soon doing better?
You didn't have to…
get in my way.
These darn flies.
She worked through the night
to deliver those piglets.
It's fortunate that
someone was there to help out.
It would've been really tough.
By the way, who were they
and what were they doing at the pig farm?
They came to buy your field.
What?
They bought our cornfield?
SIGNED BY PARK SUNG-AE
Goodness.
You're paying for it with cash?
Oh, my.
My goodness!
Something smells good.
Hi, Sam-sik.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Who are they?
These men?
Well, they are…
You know, they're here
because they're moving
to our village soon.
They came to order rice cakes
to present as gifts.
I see.
How many mals would you like?
Well, I'm not sure.
About three maris will do.
Three "maris"?
Oh, right.
- There are more people than that.
- Right?
- Exactly.
- Then I'll go big.
Thirty maris will do.
- Goodness.
- Thirty…
- Well, that's quite a lot of rice cakes.
- What is this?
Something seems odd.
Are you sure you
came for rice cake?
Yes, of course.
- Let's make it three.
- Okay.
By the way,
your seated height
seems taller than normal today.
- What?
- What do you mean?
Hey, I heard we
sold our cornfield!
What?
Damn it, you…
SAM-SIK'S MILL
What a pretty face you have
It's just like an apple
Your eyes shine
Your nose shines
And this knife shines too
Grab him.
Come here.
You're eating so well.
- If you choose to, surgery is possible.
- Paw.
-However, with the aggressive metastases,
-Paw. Good job.
- It may not be very effective.
- Good job.
Great job.
You'll want to get
your affairs in order.
That's hot!
Mom, are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
I'm all right.
You must be hungry.
It's almost ready.
Just a moment.

When you're hungry…
When you're hungry…
I…
I can't die.
You wish to leave
the farm to your son?
And if anything happens to me,
he'll have to make
a living by himself.
You don't need to
worry about that already.
You never know what
will happen in life.
But as you know,
my son isn't well,
so I wonder if he'll manage.
In that case,
you should hire
a trustworthy farm manager.
And I can help him
with medicines and vaccinations,
so don't worry about that.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Goodness.
I'm counting on you.
Why are you suddenly
acting like this?
I haven't even retired yet.
My mom is acting weird.
All moms are weird.
They're always getting angry.
That's because you bought
200,000 won worth of items
for a game on her phone.
Kids can sometimes
make mistakes.
What about Ms. Jin?
How is she weird?
Hey! How is she weird?
Don't you hear me?
Gosh, this is so frustrating.
Goodness.
You can't do this.
Mi-joo doesn't
like us hanging out.
How is this hanging out?
We just met by chance.
Isn't that right?
It happens pretty often
in a tiny village like this one.
But…
Don't worry.
Mom went into town.
Town?
When? Did she
take her wallet?
That's not what's important.
So how is Ms. Jin weird?
She doesn't talk as much.
She doesn't talk as much?
Shouldn't you be glad then?
She won't nag at you as much.
She's low on energy
and doesn't smile anymore.
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho, there you are.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Hi, Ye-jin and Seo-jin.
You're here too.
What's this?
Your new toy?
Good for you. It
must be from your mom.
Is your grandma well too?
Please say hi to her for me.
Uncle Kang-ho has an appointment.
We'll be going now.
All right, let's go!
Didn't he say she's
not talking as much?
You're back.
You said you'd return.
I didn't sell
these just in case.
I'm actually looking
for boots today.
Oh, not those?
These are a bit short.
Is there anything higher?
I have ones that go to the waist.
One second.
They don't need to be that high.
WOMEN'S SHOES 15,000 WON
DRESS SHOES 15,000 WON
It's Tiger.
Tiger.
Tiger!
Tiger.
Uri!
Excuse me.
Isn't this Tiger?
What?
Tiger?
It looked just like Tiger,
so I thought it was him.
- Hi.
- What's with him?
Goodness, it's all right.
Where did he go?
Kang-ho…
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho!
- Not bad, right?
- Are you selling it?
I barely managed to get it.
This was the last pack.
It's in here.
No, I put it in here.
There it is.
You punks.
What the hell?
You're too young to smoke.
Here.
Don't smoke, okay?
Hey, wait.
I gave you 50,000 won.
You gave me 5,000 won.
That's bullshit.
I definitely gave you 50,000 won.
That's bullshit.
Give him back his
money, you idiot.
- Seriously.
- Darn it.
I'm not an idiot.
I just went back
to my childhood.
This is a chance
given from above.
That's one hell of
a stupid chance.
You're not going to
give me my money?
You leave us no choice then.
- Search him.
- No, stop it.
- Pull them down.
- Come on.
You're dead.
I'm telling my mom.
Wait, is that a gift?
Give it to me.
It's not a gift.
It's a phone, idiot.
I know that, idiot.
- You're the idiot, idiot.
- Give it to me, you…
You damned bastards!
- What the…
- Darn it.
Hey, run!
You…
- Run!
- Stop right there!
You son of a bitch!
You son of a bitch!
Repeat after me!
You son of a bitch.
You son of a bitch.
Louder!
You son of a bitch!
That's it.
Good.
If anyone calls you
an idiot or a cripple,
tell them, "You
son of a bitch!" Got it?
- But I'm not allowed to...
- You are!
Here.
From now on,
these are all yours.
Mine?
These are all very important,
so don't show them
to anyone, okay?
"Kang-ho, let's
exchange this for that."
"Kang-ho, stamp
your seal here."
"Kang-ho, can you
stand surety for me?"
"Kang-ho, let me
borrow your house deed."
What do you say then?
- What should you say?
- You son of a bitch!
Good.
Very good.
Also,
this is a bank account
your dad set up for you
and I've been saving up
to give to you when you get married.
This is very important,
so I'll hide it here.
Don't tell or show
anybody, okay?
Okay.
Like my lunch money.
What?
You hid it in my bag.
"Don't lose your
lunch money."
This is your lunch money.
You could lose
it or get it stolen,
so keep it safe
until you give it to your teacher.
Okay.
Yes, you're right.
I hid it in the bottom
of your bag, right?
Yes.
What a smart boy.
Yes.
You're doing well.
You can slowly regain your memory
and learn one thing at a time.
- Okay?
- Okay.
You must be hungry.
Let's go eat.
Okay.
Aren't we going to eat?
We will.
But if we want to
eat, we need rice.
To buy rice, we need money.
And for money, we raise pigs.
And now, I'll teach
you how to do that.
Twice a day, morning and night.
When you're hungry,
come to the farm before you eat
and check if the
pigs are eating well.
If the feed gets wet
or freezes in cold weather,
it clumps and
clogs the feed tube.
When that happens,
tap here a few times.
Bang, bang, bang.
You must always keep it
neat and disinfected
so our pigs don't
get sick, okay?
Make sure
the pigs are happy at our farm.
Yes, Happy Farm.
You can take pig manure
and use it as fertilizer
for the potato field.
Okay.
First, spread the
manure over the field,
then cover it with plastic
to block weeds from growing.
And then,
make holes in the plastic
to plant seed potatoes.
Like this.
Nice shot.
Choi Kang-ho! Focus.
When the humidity reads over 60,
it means it's too humid.
Use this app
to turn the fans on.
If the pigs
develop a cough, get diarrhea,
or collapse
for no reason…
"Hello, I'm calling
from Happy Farm in Jou-ri."
"My pigs are coughing
or having diarrhea,
so please come quickly."
But if the vet can't come because
of an outbreak of infectious disease?
Then you need to buy
the medicine yourself and inject them.
If you don't, the
contagion will spread.
I don't want to.
Shots are scary.
- I can't do this.
- No.
It's easy.
Just stab it like this.
Mom, you're the
best. That's so cool.
When mother pigs have piglets,
she feeds them and licks them.
She teaches them everything,
where to eat and poop,
how to scratch an itch,
and how to grunt
when they're angry.
Then after 25
nights, you wean them.
I'd like the newly released
knit gel polishes,
a set of semicircular
pearls in all sizes,
and a box of nail tinctures.
And ten bottles of
moisturizing cream as well.
Yes.
Tomorrow's the grand opening
so I need them by 9 a.m.
Yes, okay. That
would be great.
Thank you. Bye.
The charms came off.
You're going to open a nail salon
in the agricultural chemicals shop?
Yes.
The rent is cheap,
and there's lots of foot traffic
so I think it'll be great.
That's not a bad idea.
People may come to buy pesticides
to take their own life,
then get their nails
done and feel better.
What if they come
to get their nails done
and see pesticides
and want to take their own life?
I was just joking.
Don't mind me.
A nail salon in a shop
that sells agricultural chemicals.
That's kind of novel.
So from now on,
don't come here
and ask her to do this for free.
Go to her nail salon.
Where's Sung-ae?
She left in a hurry
to go to the bank.
The bank?
Wait.
Is she borrowing money
to settle Sam-sik's trouble again?
It's time for us to say goodbye
Until we meet again
Get 100 million won ready.
If you fail to do that,
you will end up…
donating your organs…
WAIVER OF PHYSICAL RIGHTS
…to many who
are about to die.
Okay?
MI-JOO
Hello…
honey?
Where are you?
What do you mean, where am I?
I'm obviously
out in the Pacific.
Right?
You haven't returned
and gotten in trouble, have you?
Don't say that to someone
who's turned over a fresh leaf
and working hard catching fish.
Hey, Mr. Kim!
Can you pull on the nets?
I'm practically
made for this job.
I even caught a
mermaid yesterday.
Where are you?
You aren't drinking alone
after getting fired, right?
Fired?
I'm opening up
my own nail salon.
I finished decorating
the place today.
Really?
I knew it, Mi-joo.
You got back on your feet
after that tough ordeal.
I felt really bad
when you said you wanted to give up
and go back to our hometown.
You're too talented
to lurk in the countryside.
You should do nails
for rich ladies in…
Hello?
Let me call you back.
Okay, sure.
What was that?
Lee Mi-joo?
Wait.
Sam-sik!
Hey, Bang Sam-sik!
Is that you?
When did you get back?
When did you come back?
You said you'd surprise me
when we met again,
and you were right.
Did you get beaten up
by the mermaid you caught?
You see, out
there in the Pacific,
there's a world of men that
you don't know about.
- Jeez.
- What do you know
About a man's heart?
- What's with you?
- Sorry.
You must be insane.
What about you? You're doing nails
for country ladies, not rich ladies?
What do you know
About a woman's heart?
What are you doing?
Right.
Since we both ended up here,
let's try not to
judge each other.
Who are we to
criticize one another?
We both messed up.
But still, we're better
off than Kang-ho.
He used to be so haughty
like he owned the world.
Did you see? He
became an idiot.
- Hey!
- Goodness, you startled me.
How could you say such a thing about
someone who's unwell?
The anger is bringing
out your dialect.
That's my Mi-joo.
You're so cute, as always.
Gosh, you idiot.
All right.
I'm sorry.
You didn't have to
get so worked up.
Hold on.
Do you still like Kang-ho?
- You're insane.
- Do you?
Gosh, move!
You're suddenly
dodging my question.
You do.
You still do.
People avoid poop
not because it's dirty
but because it's scary.
You're scared of poop?
Mi-joo, why?
Why are you scared of it?
Seo-jin, what's wrong?
What is it? Why
are you crying?
Did you hit him again?
- Come here.
- I didn't hit him.
He's crying because he doesn't want to
go to the public bath.
- What?
- Mom.
Do I have to go
to the public bath?
I really hate going
to the women's bath
with Grandma and Ye-jin.
Last week, he ran into Yun-ji and Da-hyeon
from kindergarten.
Stop crying!
It's not your fault.
You're allowed in the women's bath
until you turn four years old.
Mom.
- Yes?
- I want to go to the men's bath
with my dad like other boys.
Can you tell him to come back?
Can you?
Please.
Seo-jin, come
here. Stop crying.
There, there. Is
that why you're upset?
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, let's go.
What?
- Where?
- I'm hungry.
When I'm hungry,
I should feed the pigs
before I eat, right?
Yes.
- I'll be outside.
- Okay.
Ultimately, it's better for us.
Now that we own that cornfield,
we won't look out of place here.
The problem is our house.
Do you really think
our problem is getting a house?
Oh, right.
Come to your senses!
If we don't find anything
by the end of the election,
we're both doomed.
Yes, sir.
It's not in the farm.
It must be
somewhere in her house.
Let's first find out if
anybody is inside.
Okay.
Hey.
A couple of guys who don't even know
the measurement unit for rice
suddenly turn up
at a country village
and pay twice the price for land,
in cash, to start farming.
There are only
two reasons for that.
One, because
you're severely ill.
Two, because
you're mentally ill.
Or you could be running away from trouble
or planning to cause trouble.
Excuse me.
You said there are only two reasons,
but you listed four.
Right.
There must be a
misunderstanding.
We just want to
farm, that's all.
Okay then. Let's do this.
I'll help you find a house,
and provide consulting services
from choosing crops
to learning farming techniques.
- No, you don't have to...
- All right.
In that case, why
don't we discuss this
over a glass of makgeolli?
There's a brewery nearby
that's been around for 35 years,
and it's amazing.
Really?
You must like makgeolli.
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Wait, sir. Hey!
- It's really good.
Hey.
Let's say one mother pig
costs 300,000 won.
Okay.
But a buyer comes and says,
"Goodness, sir."
"Only summer
pigs cost that much."
"There's an increase in supply now,
so the price has dropped a lot."
"I'll give you
250,000 won."
What should you do?
Hey, you thief! I'm
not selling it to you!
Yes, good job.
- Next, the sawdust distributor.
- Okay.
The sawdust distributor
wants 220 won per kilogram
when it used to be 190 won per kilogram.
Then he says, "This was made
with red pine tree from Russia,
so it's much
better quality."
"If you make compost out of this
and use it to grow potatoes,
they'll grow as big
as watermelons."
Then what should you do?
A shameless beast
like you must leave!
My goodness.
Where did you learn such words?
Over there.
HAPPY FARM MUST BE DEMOLISHED!
CAN'T STAND THE SMELL
PIG FECES IN OUR CLEAN JOU-RI
PIG FARM OUT!
- Andrea.
- Yes?
Please put Kang-ho
in working clothes.
Sure.
I will manipulate
your movements now.
You must put up
with the inconvenience.
What's wrong?
Why are you barking so much?
Is there a rat?
What are you doing here
like a rat?
The people in this village
won't believe a word I say.
I took a video of
wastewater leaking out
from the back.
That's not wastewater.
It's just water
dripping from the water tank.
As if.
You did this too, didn't you?
Yes, I did it. So what?
I presented the idea to the villagers
to close down this place.
Everyone agreed with me,
but no one showed up.
They're the worst!
Damn it.
Do you want to die?
Do I want to die?
Do I want to die?
Nobody in this world
wants to die, you bastard!
Why should I die?
Why should I die?
Why?
- Why should I die?
- Mom!
- Let go!
- No, Ms. Jin!
- Ms. Jin!
- Hey!
- This behavior is improper.
- Mom.
- Stay away!
- You.
Listen carefully.
This farm
cost my husband his life.
No matter how much you try
to shut it down,
I'll never give it up.
If I die, my son will run it.
Then his son and grandson!
It's going to get passed on
through generations.
If you do something
like this again,
then I'll kill you
no matter the consequences. Got it?
Darn it!
Ms. Jin!
Ms. Jin!
Ms. Jin!
This is bad.
We're in trouble!
EMERGENCY QUARANTINE
ACCESS CONTROL
EMERGENCY QUARANTINE
DO NOT ENTER
- Goodness.
- My gosh!
- Gosh.
- Goodness.
- Goodness.
- How can this happen?
What is all this?
PREVENTIVE CULLING OF POTENTIAL
LIVESTOCK WITH FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
What on earth is happening?
Foot-and-mouth disease?
I heard Mr. Kim's goat farm
had an outbreak.
Why are the civil servants
headed to the pig farm?
If foot-and-mouth disease breaks out,
cows and pigs within a 3km radius
must be culled by law.
What?
Then Young-soon's pigs will be culled
even though they aren't sick?
That's the law.
Thankfully,
Tiger isn't affected.
Damn it!
Who cares about the
damn dog right now?
Then…
What will happen to that family?
For now,
they have to shut down the farm.
Those damn goats have been going around
doing all kinds of goat things
all around the village,
and they finally ended
up causing trouble.
Goodness.
I feel so bad for Young-soon.
Sir, please don't.
Please don't kill our pigs!
Mom, do something.
Go stop them!
Andrea, please.
Andrea, do something.
Leave her alone!
She's feeding her piglets!
Just leave her there.
- Spread out.
- This way.
Be careful.
This way.
Why?
Why?!
No.
No!
No!
No!
- Mom.
- Ms. Jin.
- No, stop it, Mom.
- Ms. Jin.
No, Mom.
No.
- You can't do this to them.
- Ms. Jin.
They don't deserve
to die like this!
You can't do this to them!
You can't!
No.
Those poor things.
Those poor things!
Those poor things!
No!
Those poor things!
- No!
- Don't do that!
- Those pigs aren't sick!
- Goodness.
- I can't watch.
- I'm sorry!
Isn't this too harsh?
Please be reborn as humans
in your next life.
- Goodness.
- Human? Life will be tougher.
- My goodness!
- Hey, Mr. Choi.
I'm glad you called.
Hello. It's me, Sam-sik.
No.
I don't have the money yet.
FAIRY BREWERY
But if you give me more time,
I'll pay back 200 million won
including interest.
Just one month.
I promise you.
I promise, I do
I do
FAIRY BREWERY, FAIRY REAL ESTATE,
FAIRY FORTUNE TELLING
Darn it.
Who the hell drank my alcohol?
I got you, you punk.
What? It's you, Sam-sik.
Goodness, Mr. Yang.
Your security system
is still cutting-edge technology.
I can never steal
from your place.
Goodness.
I took a few bottles of makgeolli
to drink with my friends.
You can put it
under my dad's tab.
Hey, go tell him to pay his tab.
- Okay.
- Hey.
And I put aside those bottles
to use for my ritual tomorrow.
How could you take them?
- All right. Where were we?
- Goodness, that punk.
Yes, farming funds.
Call the agricultural technology center
to apply for the fund.
- Once you call...
- And listen.
Do you know
Kang-ho's family is in big trouble?
It's worse than big trouble.
That genius became
an idiot overnight.
You punk.
Not Kang-ho. I'm
talking about the farm.
The poor pigs were all culled
because of the outbreak
of the foot-and-mouth disease.
- What?
- Foot-and-mouth disease?
They sacrificed all those pigs
who were squealing
and struggling to survive.
It was painful for me to watch.
Imagine how she felt.
She fed and raised them
like they were her own.
She must be heartbroken.
What about Lion?
Is Lion dead too?
Kang-ho's house
is over 3km away
from the goat farm,
so Lion is still alive.
- What a relief.
- What a relief.
What's a relief?
This is absurd.
Some had to die
while others lived
by a matter of a few meters.
Goodness.
Thankfully, this
one must've survived.
But what's the point?
She lost all the other pigs.
She must be very shocked.
She hasn't returned
from the farm.
Shut up.
And start searching.
Yes, sir.
I don't think it's in here.
I don't see any files.
There are just clothes and shoes.
Look, more clothes and shoes.
Mr. So.
Thank you for coming
to the family meeting
for our children's wedding
despite your busy schedule.
It's to prepare my dearest daughter
and a great man like him
for their new journey together.
I'd rather miss
out on a campaign.
Thank you for considering
my humble son a great man.
I'm very grateful.
We can tell a lot about a person
by their parents.
Think of who you are, sir.
You were born into a poor farm,
then later founded Dosang Group,
the top corporation that is
the backbone of our country's economy.
People often tease me,
calling me a rags-to-riches story.
Sir.
That is why I wish
to become the president.
A world where one can rise
from the bottom up.
Nowadays, social injustice
seems permanent,
and wealth and
poverty are inherited.
Hence, no one can
rise from the bottom up.
That's why the disadvantaged
do not make an effort to grow
and continue to just live
in this hopeless society.
I will
make Korea a place
where one can rise.
And
the future of my politics
is you, sir.
Mom.
We should go now.
Yes.
We should go.
UNGRYEOL
AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS
WHEN NAILS COME
Have you heard the news?
About Jou-ri.
I heard it's a huge mess
after the disease outbreak.
Goodness, I heard.
I can feel her pain.
We're not talking
just one or two pigs.
Where did they
bury all those pigs?
The goats were buried
in the yard of the farm,
and the pigs were buried
in the potato field.
The potato field?
Then she can't
grow potatoes either.
Goodness.
Potatoes?
Wait.
Then why did she buy herbicide?
What?
Herbicide?
Yes.
When did she come by to buy it?
As soon as I opened today.
You haven't
finished my nails yet!
What…
UNGRYEOL
AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS
Kang-ho.
Say hi to your dad.
Dad…
Hello.
Honey.
I brought Kang-ho with me.
I wanted to bring him to you
after he starts
walking again, but…
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
HERE RESTS CHOI HAE-SIK
Mom.
Have we picnicked
here in the past?
I don't remember.
This is a picnic, right?
No, it's not. We need
gimbap for a picnic.
My son, this bad mother of yours
never let you go on a picnic
like everyone else.
Long ago,
my mom and dad…
I mean,
your grandma, grandpa,
and uncle…
went on a picnic with
gimbap I made for them
and passed away.
And your dad
also went out with the
gimbap I made
and never came back.
I was scared of that.
That's why I never let you go.
I was scared
by the thought…
of becoming alone again.
Mom.
I'll open it for you.
In return, after we drink this,
we have to go down and eat.
I'm hungry.
And what do we do before we eat?
Feed the pigs first.
We have to feed Lion.
Lion will grow up,
have piglets, more piglets,
and more.
Then we'll be able to run
our pig farm again, right?
I'll help you out a lot, Mom.
Ms. Jin!
Kang-ho!
Are you home?
Ms. Jin!
Look at this. I knew it.
You're here to see Kang-ho because
you heard about the outbreak, right?
Have you seen
Ms. Jin and Kang-ho?
They aren't home?
Their farm is closed off now.
Where did they go?
Ms. Jin!
- Kang-ho!
- Hey.
- There they are.
- What?
Hello, Ms. Jin.
I was worried after
hearing the news.
You must be heartbroken.
UNGRYEOL
AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS
This.
I should take the herbicide
to my mom at the garlic field, right?
Right?
Yes.
Goodbye then.
Kang-ho.
Yes?
Can you go to the public bath
with Seo-jin tomorrow?
Sam-sik will go too.
Me?
Why would I…
I should go,
right? Of course.
Sounds
great. I'd love to.
Okay. See you
tomorrow then.
Goodbye, ma'am.
I'll get going too then.
What's going on?
Tell me. What is it?
Why do I have to go bathe with Seo-jin?
Wait. Are you crying?
Something serious
must be going on.
What is it?
Tell me now!
Nothing's going on.
It's just a bath.
Everyone should bathe!
Don't you wash up?
I'll wash up!
I will.
Her son
must have told her
that he wants to bathe with his dad,
and it must've broken her heart.
Goodness.
I see she was
too shy to tell me,
so she dragged that idiot in
to make me go.
At any rate,
you were cute today,
as always, Mi-joo!
Young-soon.
Young-soon, are you home?
It's heartbreaking.
What are those?
Please take this.
What is this?
Wait, this is from that time.
- You're right.
- Why are you giving these to us?
Thanks to you two,
I was able to get through
some difficult times.
I know this is nowhere enough
to show my gratitude,
but please take it.
What are you doing?
- Are you crazy?
- You must be.
This is wrong.
Don't do this.
I mean, Kang-ho's
fiancée brought...
Hey.
Oh, no. Never mind.
You're right.
That's why I feel awful
whenever I see these.
But
if you don't want them,
I'll throw them out...
It'd be such a waste
to throw them out.
Seo-jin! Ye-jin!
- Kang-ho!
- Kang-ho!
Let's go to the bath.
Over here!
Hey, didn't you
bring any toiletries?
They have everything there.
What do you know
About men's baths?
Good grief.
You must be the famous twins.
Nice to meet you.
I'll be your father…
That hurts!
That hurts.
He really is in pain.
He is.
I don't know who he is,
but he's quite a guy.
He's my friend, Sam-sik.
Sam-sik?
The famous thief?
No, let's go.
We'll return safely.
Okay.
Go get yourself washed up
and have a good time.
Okay.
Okay, time to go!
- You don't want to end up like him.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- That punk.
- Sorry, Sam-sik!
His memories must
have come back.
Goodbye.
Wait up!

My health will
worsen by the day,
and I might die any day.
I'll only end up
becoming a burden to my unwell son.
Have you found a
rehabilitation center for your son?
Yes.
The fee will be deducted
from this bank account every month.
If my son ever
returns to normal,
please grant him the rest.
If that never happens,
please handle everything
according to my will.
So are you saying
Choi Kang-ho was the one
who's been exposing Woobyeok?
Look how pretty the wig is.
And those shoes are so cute.
Do these fit him?
Why don't we just get
rid of Choi Kang-ho?
What do you mean?
If he returns to normal,
he may pose a threat to you.
Threat?
Hey, look.
Kang-ho exposed
everything himself,
then went around patching it up.
Why do you think he did that?
That poor kid
without any connections
worked desperately
to make some kind of a tie.
In a wig like this, no less.
This is what a man should be like
when he has ambition in his heart.
Mr. So, you just pitched
a four-seam fastball.
But something's not right.
Don't you think so?
Don't bring something on me
but on him.
Okay?

Yes, I'll keep it short.

And rise to the very top!

- I do? Of what?
- Will make it happen!
Your hair is sparkling clean.
I'll turn Korea into a

Thank you, everyone!

Ye-jin, did you have a good bath?
Seo-jin, what about you?
It's Mom!
- Hello, Ms. Jin.
- Seo-jin, come here.
- Mom.
- Give me your hand.
It must've been tough to help
both Seo-jin and Kang-ho bathe.
No, it's no trouble at all.
What do you know?
I'm the one who helped them.
You're right.
Thank you, Sam-sik.
Kang-ho and I have an appointment.
We'll be on our way.
Kang-ho, say bye.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Bye, Ye-jin and Seo-jin.
Let's come together
next week too!
Okay, let's do that.

Please come by often.
Okay.

Yes?
You will
live here and receive treatment
from now on.
There are great doctors here
as well as wonderful

So they'll help you walk again
very soon.
I have to live here now?
Yes.
With you?
No.
I can't live with you.
You can't?
Why not?
Because…
You know what?
If you listen to the doctors
and become healthy
enough to walk again,
I'll come back for…
I'll come back…

It's not an easy
job to bathe a kid.
It must've been
tough for Sam-sik.
It was Kang-ho.
What? Kang-ho?
Yes, he scrubbed me
and washed my hair.
He's really good.
He was like Dad.
Hey! You take
that back right now!
That hurts! Let go of me!
How dare you compare
Kang-ho with Dad?
How can that idiot be our dad?
Lee Ye-jin!
Get over here.
You brat.
How dare you pull
out your brother's hair?
That's enough!
Our dad is really cool,
really rich, and really smart.
He has to be!
You don't know anything.
I hate you, Mom!

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
My mom abandoned me.
Can't I just live with you?
Was I a burden to you…
because I'm unwell?
So get up.
Get up and walk!
I also really want to know
why I was abandoned.
Mom, Dad is here.
Mi-joo, let's get married.
I'm going to marry Kang-ho oppa.
- Okay?
- Are you home?
Please keep my illness
a secret from the villagers.
It's here. The evidence.
To my mother whom I miss dearly.
Are you healthy and well?

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
Pull yourself together.
You need to be strong.
Get up.
You're a mom.
Your piglets are
all looking for you.
You need to get up, feed them,
and look after them.
So is Young-soon doing better?
You didn't have to…
get in my way.
These darn flies.
She worked through the night
to deliver those piglets.
It's fortunate that
someone was there to help out.
It would've been really tough.
By the way, who were they
and what were they doing at the pig farm?
They came to buy your field.
What?
They bought our cornfield?
SIGNED BY PARK SUNG-AE
Goodness.
You're paying for it with cash?
Oh, my.
My goodness!
Something smells good.
Hi, Sam-sik.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Who are they?
These men?
Well, they are…
You know, they're here
because they're moving
to our village soon.
They came to order rice cakes
to present as gifts.
I see.
How many mals would you like?
Well, I'm not sure.
About three maris will do.
Three "maris"?
Oh, right.
- There are more people than that.
- Right?
- Exactly.
- Then I'll go big.
Thirty maris will do.
- Goodness.
- Thirty…
- Well, that's quite a lot of rice cakes.
- What is this?
Something seems odd.
Are you sure you
came for rice cake?
Yes, of course.
- Let's make it three.
- Okay.
By the way,
your seated height
seems taller than normal today.
- What?
- What do you mean?
Hey, I heard we
sold our cornfield!
What?
Damn it, you…

Yes.
I'm fine.

When you're hungry…
When you're hungry…
I…
I can't die.
You wish to leave
the farm to your son?
And if anything happens to me,
he'll have to make
a living by himself.
You don't need to
worry about that already.
You never know what
will happen in life.
But as you know,
my son isn't well,
so I wonder if he'll manage.
In that case,
you should hire
a trustworthy farm manager.
And I can help him
with medicines and vaccinations,
so don't worry about that.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Goodness.
I'm counting on you.
Why are you suddenly
acting like this?
I haven't even retired yet.
My mom is acting weird.
All moms are weird.
They're always getting angry.
That's because you bought
200,000 won worth of items
for a game on her phone.
Kids can sometimes
make mistakes.
What about Ms. Jin?
How is she weird?
Hey! How is she weird?
Don't you hear me?
Gosh, this is so frustrating.
Goodness.
You can't do this.
Mi-joo doesn't
like us hanging out.
How is this hanging out?
We just met by chance.
Isn't that right?
It happens pretty often
in a tiny village like this one.
But…
Don't worry.
Mom went into town.
Town?
When? Did she
take her wallet?
That's not what's important.
So how is Ms. Jin weird?
She doesn't talk as much.
She doesn't talk as much?
Shouldn't you be glad then?
She won't nag at you as much.
She's low on energy
and doesn't smile anymore.
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho, there you are.
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Hi, Ye-jin and Seo-jin.
You're here too.
What's this?
Your new toy?
Good for you. It
must be from your mom.
Is your grandma well too?
Please say hi to her for me.
Uncle Kang-ho has an appointment.
We'll be going now.
All right, let's go!
Didn't he say she's
not talking as much?
You're back.
You said you'd return.
I didn't sell
these just in case.
I'm actually looking
for boots today.
Oh, not those?
These are a bit short.
Is there anything higher?
I have ones that go to the waist.
One second.
They don't need to be that high.

Excuse me.
Isn't this Tiger?

It looked just like Tiger,
so I thought it was him.
- Hi.
- What's with him?
Goodness, it's all right.
Where did he go?
Kang-ho…
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho!
- Not bad, right?
- Are you selling it?
I barely managed to get it.
This was the last pack.
It's in here.
No, I put it in here.
There it is.
You punks.
What the hell?
You're too young to smoke.
Here.
Don't smoke, okay?
Hey, wait.
I gave you 50,000 won.
You gave me 5,000 won.
That's bullshit.
I definitely gave you 50,000 won.
That's bullshit.
Give him back his
money, you idiot.
- Seriously.
- Darn it.
I'm not an idiot.
I just went back
to my childhood.
This is a chance
given from above.
That's one hell of
a stupid chance.
You're not going to
give me my money?
You leave us no choice then.
- Search him.
- No, stop it.
- Pull them down.
- Come on.
You're dead.
I'm telling my mom.
Wait, is that a gift?
Give it to me.
It's not a gift.
It's a phone, idiot.
I know that, idiot.
- You're the idiot, idiot.
- Give it to me, you…
You damned bastards!
- What the…
- Darn it.
Hey, run!
You…
- Run!
- Stop right there!
You son of a bitch!
You son of a bitch!
Repeat after me!
You son of a bitch.
You son of a bitch.
Louder!
You son of a bitch!
That's it.
Good.
If anyone calls you
an idiot or a cripple,
tell them, "You
son of a bitch!" Got it?
- But I'm not allowed to...
- You are!
Here.
From now on,
these are all yours.
Mine?
These are all very important,
so don't show them
to anyone, okay?
"Kang-ho, let's
exchange this for that."
"Kang-ho, stamp
your seal here."
"Kang-ho, can you
stand surety for me?"
"Kang-ho, let me
borrow your house deed."
What do you say then?
- What should you say?
- You son of a bitch!
Good.
Very good.
Also,
this is a bank account
your dad set up for you
and I've been saving up
to give to you when you get married.
This is very important,
so I'll hide it here.
Don't tell or show
anybody, okay?
Okay.
Like my lunch money.
What?
You hid it in my bag.
"Don't lose your
lunch money."
This is your lunch money.
You could lose
it or get it stolen,
so keep it safe
until you give it to your teacher.
Okay.
Yes, you're right.
I hid it in the bottom
of your bag, right?
Yes.
What a smart boy.
Yes.
You're doing well.
You can slowly regain your memory
and learn one thing at a time.
- Okay?
- Okay.
You must be hungry.
Let's go eat.
Okay.
Aren't we going to eat?
We will.
But if we want to
eat, we need rice.
To buy rice, we need money.
And for money, we raise pigs.
And now, I'll teach
you how to do that.
Twice a day, morning and night.
When you're hungry,
come to the farm before you eat
and check if the
pigs are eating well.
If the feed gets wet
or freezes in cold weather,
it clumps and
clogs the feed tube.
When that happens,
tap here a few times.
Bang, bang, bang.
You must always keep it
neat and disinfected
so our pigs don't
get sick, okay?
Make sure
the pigs are happy at our farm.
Yes, Happy Farm.
You can take pig manure
and use it as fertilizer
for the potato field.
Okay.
First, spread the
manure over the field,
then cover it with plastic
to block weeds from growing.
And then,
make holes in the plastic
to plant seed potatoes.
Like this.
Nice shot.
Choi Kang-ho! Focus.
When the humidity reads over 60,
it means it's too humid.
Use this app
to turn the fans on.
If the pigs
develop a cough, get diarrhea,
or collapse
for no reason…
"Hello, I'm calling
from Happy Farm in Jou-ri."
"My pigs are coughing
or having diarrhea,
so please come quickly."
But if the vet can't come because
of an outbreak of infectious disease?
Then you need to buy
the medicine yourself and inject them.
If you don't, the
contagion will spread.
I don't want to.
Shots are scary.
- I can't do this.
- No.
It's easy.
Just stab it like this.
Mom, you're the
best. That's so cool.
When mother pigs have piglets,
she feeds them and licks them.
She teaches them everything,
where to eat and poop,
how to scratch an itch,
and how to grunt
when they're angry.
Then after 25
nights, you wean them.
I'd like the newly released
knit gel polishes,
a set of semicircular
pearls in all sizes,
and a box of nail tinctures.
And ten bottles of
moisturizing cream as well.
Yes.
Tomorrow's the grand opening
so I need them by 9 a.m.
Yes, okay. That
would be great.
Thank you. Bye.
The charms came off.
You're going to open a nail salon
in the agricultural chemicals shop?
Yes.
The rent is cheap,
and there's lots of foot traffic
so I think it'll be great.
That's not a bad idea.
People may come to buy pesticides
to take their own life,
then get their nails
done and feel better.
What if they come
to get their nails done
and see pesticides
and want to take their own life?
I was just joking.
Don't mind me.
A nail salon in a shop
that sells agricultural chemicals.
That's kind of novel.
So from now on,
don't come here
and ask her to do this for free.
Go to her nail salon.
Where's Sung-ae?
She left in a hurry
to go to the bank.
The bank?
Wait.
Is she borrowing money
to settle Sam-sik's trouble again?
It's time for us to say goodbye
Until we meet again
Get 100 million won ready.

Hello…
honey?
Where are you?
What do you mean, where am I?
I'm obviously
out in the Pacific.
Right?
You haven't returned
and gotten in trouble, have you?
Don't say that to someone
who's turned over a fresh leaf
and working hard catching fish.
Hey, Mr. Kim!
Can you pull on the nets?
I'm practically
made for this job.
I even caught a
mermaid yesterday.
Where are you?
You aren't drinking alone
after getting fired, right?
Fired?
I'm opening up
my own nail salon.
I finished decorating
the place today.
Really?
I knew it, Mi-joo.
You got back on your feet
after that tough ordeal.
I felt really bad
when you said you wanted to give up
and go back to our hometown.
You're too talented
to lurk in the countryside.
You should do nails
for rich ladies in…
Hello?
Let me call you back.
Okay, sure.
What was that?
Lee Mi-joo?
Wait.
Sam-sik!
Hey, Bang Sam-sik!
Is that you?
When did you get back?
When did you come back?
You said you'd surprise me
when we met again,
and you were right.
Did you get beaten up
by the mermaid you caught?
You see, out
there in the Pacific,
there's a world of men that
you don't know about.
- Jeez.
- What do you know
About a man's heart?
- What's with you?
- Sorry.
You must be insane.
What about you? You're doing nails
for country ladies, not rich ladies?
What do you know
About a woman's heart?
What are you doing?
Right.
Since we both ended up here,
let's try not to
judge each other.
Who are we to
criticize one another?
We both messed up.
But still, we're better
off than Kang-ho.
He used to be so haughty
like he owned the world.
Did you see? He
became an idiot.
- Hey!
- Goodness, you startled me.
How could you say such a thing about
someone who's unwell?
The anger is bringing
out your dialect.
That's my Mi-joo.
You're so cute, as always.
Gosh, you idiot.
All right.
I'm sorry.
You didn't have to
get so worked up.
Hold on.
Do you still like Kang-ho?
- You're insane.
- Do you?
Gosh, move!
You're suddenly
dodging my question.
You do.
You still do.
People avoid poop
not because it's dirty
but because it's scary.
You're scared of poop?
Mi-joo, why?
Why are you scared of it?
Seo-jin, what's wrong?
What is it? Why
are you crying?
Did you hit him again?
- Come here.
- I didn't hit him.
He's crying because he doesn't want to
go to the public bath.
- What?
- Mom.
Do I have to go
to the public bath?
I really hate going
to the women's bath
with Grandma and Ye-jin.
Last week, he ran into Yun-ji and Da-hyeon
from kindergarten.
Stop crying!
It's not your fault.
You're allowed in the women's bath
until you turn four years old.
Mom.
- Yes?
- I want to go to the men's bath
with my dad like other boys.
Can you tell him to come back?
Can you?
Please.
Seo-jin, come
here. Stop crying.
There, there. Is
that why you're upset?
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, let's go.
What?
- Where?
- I'm hungry.
When I'm hungry,
I should feed the pigs
before I eat, right?
Yes.
- I'll be outside.
- Okay.
Ultimately, it's better for us.
Now that we own that cornfield,
we won't look out of place here.
The problem is our house.
Do you really think
our problem is getting a house?
Oh, right.
Come to your senses!
If we don't find anything
by the end of the election,
we're both doomed.
Yes, sir.
It's not in the farm.
It must be
somewhere in her house.
Let's first find out if
anybody is inside.
Okay.
Hey.
A couple of guys who don't even know
the measurement unit for rice
suddenly turn up
at a country village
and pay twice the price for land,
in cash, to start farming.
There are only
two reasons for that.
One, because
you're severely ill.
Two, because
you're mentally ill.
Or you could be running away from trouble
or planning to cause trouble.
Excuse me.
You said there are only two reasons,
but you listed four.
Right.
There must be a
misunderstanding.
We just want to
farm, that's all.
Okay then. Let's do this.
I'll help you find a house,
and provide consulting services
from choosing crops
to learning farming techniques.
- No, you don't have to...
- All right.
In that case, why
don't we discuss this
over a glass of makgeolli?
There's a brewery nearby
that's been around for 35 years,
and it's amazing.
Really?
You must like makgeolli.
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Wait, sir. Hey!
- It's really good.
Hey.
Let's say one mother pig
costs 300,000 won.
Okay.
But a buyer comes and says,
"Goodness, sir."
"Only summer
pigs cost that much."
"There's an increase in supply now,
so the price has dropped a lot."
"I'll give you
250,000 won."
What should you do?
Hey, you thief! I'm
not selling it to you!
Yes, good job.
- Next, the sawdust distributor.
- Okay.
The sawdust distributor
wants 220 won per kilogram
when it used to be 190 won per kilogram.
Then he says, "This was made
with red pine tree from Russia,
so it's much
better quality."
"If you make compost out of this
and use it to grow potatoes,
they'll grow as big
as watermelons."
Then what should you do?
A shameless beast
like you must leave!
My goodness.
Where did you learn such words?
Over there.
HAPPY FARM MUST BE DEMOLISHED!
CAN'T STAND THE SMELL
PIG FECES IN OUR CLEAN JOU-RI
PIG FARM OUT!
- Andrea.
- Yes?
Please put Kang-ho
in working clothes.
Sure.
I will manipulate
your movements now.
You must put up
with the inconvenience.
What's wrong?
Why are you barking so much?
Is there a rat?
What are you doing here
like a rat?
The people in this village
won't believe a word I say.
I took a video of
wastewater leaking out
from the back.
That's not wastewater.
It's just water
dripping from the water tank.
As if.
You did this too, didn't you?
Yes, I did it. So what?
I presented the idea to the villagers
to close down this place.
Everyone agreed with me,
but no one showed up.
They're the worst!
Damn it.
Do you want to die?
Do I want to die?
Do I want to die?
Nobody in this world
wants to die, you bastard!
Why should I die?
Why should I die?
Why?
- Why should I die?
- Mom!
- Let go!
- No, Ms. Jin!
- Ms. Jin!
- Hey!
- This behavior is improper.
- Mom.
- Stay away!
- You.
Listen carefully.
This farm
cost my husband his life.
No matter how much you try
to shut it down,
I'll never give it up.
If I die, my son will run it.
Then his son and grandson!
It's going to get passed on
through generations.
If you do something
like this again,
then I'll kill you
no matter the consequences. Got it?
Darn it!
Ms. Jin!
Ms. Jin!
Ms. Jin!
This is bad.
We're in trouble!

What is all this?
PREVENTIVE CULLING OF POTENTIAL
LIVESTOCK WITH FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
What on earth is happening?
Foot-and-mouth disease?
I heard Mr. Kim's goat farm
had an outbreak.
Why are the civil servants
headed to the pig farm?
If foot-and-mouth disease breaks out,
cows and pigs within a 3km radius
must be culled by law.
What?
Then Young-soon's pigs will be culled
even though they aren't sick?
That's the law.
Thankfully,
Tiger isn't affected.
Damn it!
Who cares about the
damn dog right now?
Then…
What will happen to that family?
For now,
they have to shut down the farm.
Those damn goats have been going around
doing all kinds of goat things
all around the village,
and they finally ended
up causing trouble.
Goodness.
I feel so bad for Young-soon.
Sir, please don't.
Please don't kill our pigs!
Mom, do something.
Go stop them!
Andrea, please.
Andrea, do something.
Leave her alone!
She's feeding her piglets!
Just leave her there.
- Spread out.
- This way.
Be careful.
This way.
Why?
Why?!
No.
No!
No!
No!
- Mom.
- Ms. Jin.
- No, stop it, Mom.
- Ms. Jin.
No, Mom.
No.
- You can't do this to them.
- Ms. Jin.
They don't deserve
to die like this!
You can't do this to them!
You can't!
No.
Those poor things.
Those poor things!
Those poor things!
No!
Those poor things!
- No!
- Don't do that!
- Those pigs aren't sick!
- Goodness.
- I can't watch.
- I'm sorry!
Isn't this too harsh?
Please be reborn as humans
in your next life.
- Goodness.
- Human? Life will be tougher.
- My goodness!
- Hey, Mr. Choi.
I'm glad you called.
Hello. It's me, Sam-sik.
No.
I don't have the money yet.
FAIRY BREWERY
But if you give me more time,
I'll pay back 200 million won
including interest.
Just one month.
I promise you.
I promise, I do
I do
FAIRY BREWERY, FAIRY REAL ESTATE,
FAIRY FORTUNE TELLING
Darn it.
Who the hell drank my alcohol?
I got you, you punk.
What? It's you, Sam-sik.
Goodness, Mr. Yang.
Your security system
is still cutting-edge technology.
I can never steal
from your place.
Goodness.
I took a few bottles of makgeolli
to drink with my friends.
You can put it
under my dad's tab.
Hey, go tell him to pay his tab.
- Okay.
- Hey.
And I put aside those bottles
to use for my ritual tomorrow.
How could you take them?
- All right. Where were we?
- Goodness, that punk.
Yes, farming funds.
Call the agricultural technology center
to apply for the fund.
- Once you call...
- And listen.
Do you know
Kang-ho's family is in big trouble?
It's worse than big trouble.
That genius became
an idiot overnight.
You punk.
Not Kang-ho. I'm
talking about the farm.
The poor pigs were all culled
because of the outbreak
of the foot-and-mouth disease.
- What?
- Foot-and-mouth disease?
They sacrificed all those pigs
who were squealing
and struggling to survive.
It was painful for me to watch.
Imagine how she felt.
She fed and raised them
like they were her own.
She must be heartbroken.
What about Lion?
Is Lion dead too?
Kang-ho's house
is over 3km away
from the goat farm,
so Lion is still alive.
- What a relief.
- What a relief.
What's a relief?
This is absurd.
Some had to die
while others lived
by a matter of a few meters.
Goodness.
Thankfully, this
one must've survived.
But what's the point?
She lost all the other pigs.
She must be very shocked.
She hasn't returned
from the farm.
Shut up.
And start searching.
Yes, sir.
I don't think it's in here.
I don't see any files.
There are just clothes and shoes.
Look, more clothes and shoes.
Mr. So.
Thank you for coming
to the family meeting
for our children's wedding
despite your busy schedule.
It's to prepare my dearest daughter
and a great man like him
for their new journey together.
I'd rather miss
out on a campaign.
Thank you for considering
my humble son a great man.
I'm very grateful.
We can tell a lot about a person
by their parents.
Think of who you are, sir.
You were born into a poor farm,
then later founded Dosang Group,
the top corporation that is
the backbone of our country's economy.
People often tease me,
calling me a rags-to-riches story.
Sir.
That is why I wish
to become the president.
A world where one can rise
from the bottom up.
Nowadays, social injustice
seems permanent,
and wealth and
poverty are inherited.
Hence, no one can
rise from the bottom up.
That's why the disadvantaged
do not make an effort to grow
and continue to just live
in this hopeless society.
I will
make Korea a place
where one can rise.
And
the future of my politics
is you, sir.
Mom.
We should go now.
Yes.
We should go.

Have you heard the news?
About Jou-ri.
I heard it's a huge mess
after the disease outbreak.
Goodness, I heard.
I can feel her pain.
We're not talking
just one or two pigs.
Where did they
bury all those pigs?
The goats were buried
in the yard of the farm,
and the pigs were buried
in the potato field.
The potato field?
Then she can't
grow potatoes either.
Goodness.
Potatoes?
Wait.
Then why did she buy herbicide?
What?
Herbicide?
Yes.
When did she come by to buy it?
As soon as I opened today.
You haven't
finished my nails yet!

I'm sorry.
HERE RESTS CHOI HAE-SIK
Mom.
Have we picnicked
here in the past?
I don't remember.
This is a picnic, right?
No, it's not. We need
gimbap for a picnic.
My son, this bad mother of yours
never let you go on a picnic
like everyone else.
Long ago,
my mom and dad…
I mean,
your grandma, grandpa,
and uncle…
went on a picnic with
gimbap I made for them
and passed away.
And your dad
also went out with the
gimbap I made
and never came back.
I was scared of that.
That's why I never let you go.
I was scared
by the thought…
of becoming alone again.
Mom.
I'll open it for you.
In return, after we drink this,
we have to go down and eat.
I'm hungry.
And what do we do before we eat?
Feed the pigs first.
We have to feed Lion.
Lion will grow up,
have piglets, more piglets,
and more.
Then we'll be able to run
our pig farm again, right?
I'll help you out a lot, Mom.
Ms. Jin!
Kang-ho!
Are you home?
Ms. Jin!
Look at this. I knew it.
You're here to see Kang-ho because
you heard about the outbreak, right?
Have you seen
Ms. Jin and Kang-ho?
They aren't home?
Their farm is closed off now.
Where did they go?
Ms. Jin!
- Kang-ho!
- Hey.
- There they are.
- What?
Hello, Ms. Jin.
I was worried after
hearing the news.
You must be heartbroken.

This.
I should take the herbicide
to my mom at the garlic field, right?
Right?
Yes.
Goodbye then.
Kang-ho.
Yes?
Can you go to the public bath
with Seo-jin tomorrow?
Sam-sik will go too.
Me?
Why would I…
I should go,
right? Of course.
Sounds
great. I'd love to.
Okay. See you
tomorrow then.
Goodbye, ma'am.
I'll get going too then.
What's going on?
Tell me. What is it?
Why do I have to go bathe with Seo-jin?
Wait. Are you crying?
Something serious
must be going on.
What is it?
Tell me now!
Nothing's going on.
It's just a bath.
Everyone should bathe!
Don't you wash up?
I'll wash up!
I will.
Her son
must have told her
that he wants to bathe with his dad,
and it must've broken her heart.
Goodness.
I see she was
too shy to tell me,
so she dragged that idiot in
to make me go.
At any rate,
you were cute today,
as always, Mi-joo!
Young-soon.
Young-soon, are you home?
It's heartbreaking.
What are those?
Please take this.
What is this?
Wait, this is from that time.
- You're right.
- Why are you giving these to us?
Thanks to you two,
I was able to get through
some difficult times.
I know this is nowhere enough
to show my gratitude,
but please take it.
What are you doing?
- Are you crazy?
- You must be.
This is wrong.
Don't do this.
I mean, Kang-ho's
fiancée brought...
Hey.
Oh, no. Never mind.
You're right.
That's why I feel awful
whenever I see these.
But
if you don't want them,
I'll throw them out...
It'd be such a waste
to throw them out.
Seo-jin! Ye-jin!
- Kang-ho!
- Kang-ho!
Let's go to the bath.
Over here!
Hey, didn't you
bring any toiletries?
They have everything there.
What do you know
About men's baths?
Good grief.
You must be the famous twins.
Nice to meet you.
I'll be your father…
That hurts!
That hurts.
He really is in pain.
He is.
I don't know who he is,
but he's quite a guy.
He's my friend, Sam-sik.
Sam-sik?
The famous thief?
No, let's go.
We'll return safely.
Okay.
Go get yourself washed up
and have a good time.
Okay.
Okay, time to go!
- You don't want to end up like him.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- That punk.
- Sorry, Sam-sik!
His memories must
have come back.
Goodbye.
Wait up!
CERTIFIED COPY
OF REGISTRY
My health will
worsen by the day,
and I might die any day.
I'll only end up
becoming a burden to my unwell son.
Have you found a
rehabilitation center for your son?
Yes.
The fee will be deducted
from this bank account every month.
If my son ever
returns to normal,
please grant him the rest.
If that never happens,
please handle everything
according to my will.
So are you saying
Choi Kang-ho was the one
who's been exposing Woobyeok?
Look how pretty the wig is.
And those shoes are so cute.
Do these fit him?
Why don't we just get
rid of Choi Kang-ho?
What do you mean?
If he returns to normal,
he may pose a threat to you.
Threat?
Hey, look.
Kang-ho exposed
everything himself,
then went around patching it up.
Why do you think he did that?
That poor kid
without any connections
worked desperately
to make some kind of a tie.
In a wig like this, no less.
This is what a man should be like
when he has ambition in his heart.
Mr. So, you just pitched
a four-seam fastball.
But something's not right.
Don't you think so?
Don't bring something on me
but on him.
Okay?
Kim Ju-hui reports.
Candidate Oh gave his first speech in
the most heated election battleground,
insisting he's the best candidate
who can bring about change.
Move aside. How dare you?
Come this way.
That's my job.
Let me do it.
Yes, I'll keep it short.
A world where one can
rise from the bottom up.
And rise to the very top!
I, Oh Tae-soo,
- "You reek of something."
- Will create that world!
- What?
- I, Oh Tae-soo,
- I do? Of what?
- Will make it happen!
Your hair is sparkling clean.
I'll turn Korea into a
place -No?
Where everyone can dream!
I will do it!
-"Is it the smell of dirt

Since you came
from the bottom up?"
Thank you, everyone!

Seo-jin, what about you?
It's Mom!
- Hello, Ms. Jin.
- Seo-jin, come here.
- Mom.
- Give me your hand.
It must've been tough to help
both Seo-jin and Kang-ho bathe.
No, it's no trouble at all.
What do you know?
I'm the one who helped them.
You're right.
Thank you, Sam-sik.
Kang-ho and I have an appointment.
We'll be on our way.
Kang-ho, say bye.

I have to live here now?
Yes.
With you?
No.
I can't live with you.
You can't?
Why not?
Because…
You know what?
If you listen to the doctors
and become healthy
enough to walk again,
I'll come back for…
I'll come back…

Yes?
Are you going somewhere nice?
What?
Are you?
Are you going somewhere
nice by yourself?

Mom, I'm sorry.
I'll never do
anything bad again.

I'll listen to
everything you say,
and…
I'll stay put, I'll

Yes, he scrubbed me

He's really good.
He was like Dad.
Hey! You take

That hurts! Let go of me!
How dare you compare
Kang-ho with Dad?
How can that idiot be our dad?

My mom abandoned me.

So get up.
Get up and walk!
I also really want to know

I'm going to marry Kang-ho oppa.

Please keep my illness

It's here. The evidence.
